There he goes again ...

No real right to complain, since I at least can be quite certain he will return. But still, sucks no matter the country. Love to all those with someone in harm's way, may they return soon, safe and sound!

EDIT:
Since this got much more attention than expected, I feel the need to clarify some things:
1) What you see is in NO WAY comparable to a deployment AT ALL! This is the Swiss Army, and what you see is an officer leaving for a yearly training course of 4 weeks with leave over weekends. So http://i.imgur.com/KGFsjSU.gif
2) This being said, keep in mind that ALL able-bodied men in a certain age range have to serve their days, NO MATTER the personal circumstances. If you become an officer (they can force you to) you have to serve much longer and more frequently than soldiers do. Just got engaged? Wife just delivered a baby? Started your own little business and just getting on your feet? Still have to serve.
3) I definitely do think that it’s complaining on a high level, but regarding the fact that neither of us „chose“ this life, I do sometimes find it quite hard to let my man go, getting him back for just a little more than 24hrs every weekend for four weeks at a time (which he usually spends sleeping since he doesn’t sleep more than 4 or 5 hrs a night in the military). These pictures were taken about 2 months ago, we had just gotten engaged and I really didn't want to part with him. He came back after four weeks and already left again for another training yesterday and is currently stationed about 5hrs from our home.
So, tl;dr:
- No deployment, no real danger, no need for tears.
- Military service is mandatory in Switzerland, no excuses.
- For us, it started when he turned 18 and will last until he’s about 40, every year I have to say goodbye to him for up to 9 weeks - no tragedy, but still sucks, more and more in fact the more we start to build our life together.
